[1]Bowman for Congress

John,

The Biden administration is close to naming someone to lead the Office of
the Comptroller of the Currency — and Mehrsa Baradaran, a banking law
professor who supports reparations, postal banking, and is an expert on
the racial wealth gap, is under serious consideration.

This is excellent news,
John. Putting Baradaran in charge
of this hugely important office at the Treasury — which oversees our
federal banking system — would be a big step toward enacting much-needed
systemic change in our nation. Her nomination would mean more than just
healing from the last four years.

But the nomination isn't yet official, and we need you to add your name in
support of her nomination before it's too late. [ [link removed] ]President Biden is
poised to lock in his nomination any day now; will you add your name to
our petition to insist that he nominate Mehrsa Baradaran for the
Comptroller of the Currency?

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) is a little-known but
incredibly powerful office in our federal government. It decides which
companies can bank in the United States and sets standards for banks'
activities in our poor and minority communities.

Historically, the OCC let predatory lending flourish around the country,
causing systemic harm to Black, brown, and Native American communities.
This won't end with the Biden administration — but with Baradaran at the
helm of the OCC, we can make significant strides.

Mehrsa Baradaran is a leader who can meet the urgency of the moment and
address issues that, once solved, can provide much-needed financial
security and healing to our communities. Her nomination is another chance
for us to keep the pressure on President Biden, and hold him and his
administration accountable to our needs.

Mehrsa Baradaran as Comptroller of the Currency now.

Thanks for taking action,

Team Bowman
